Works-For-Me Wednesday: Instant Oatmeal Mix

I have fond childhood memories of the packets of instant oatmeal - still like it! My husband and son like oatmeal, too...but in our house there's only time for instant. Rather than spending the $$ on bunches of packets, I found a recipe to make a batch of the instant stuff to keep on hand. Much cheaper! We always have this available for breakfast.

Thanks for stopping by my blog for a visit. It is always nice to see a "fresh face". Your blog looks great and I am going to have to run the oatmeal by my hubbie. He insists on the packets, but I think they are pricey and not good for you ( added chemicals etc.). Thanks for the recipes.

Lisa, you are a DOLL!!! I just got my package - WOW! Amazing! Thank you so much! The biscotti is DELICIOUS and I can't wait to try the coffee and the tea. And the little mugs - adorable! I am going to do a blog post on it this evening - THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO..... MUCH!!!! :)

That is just so great! I love it when you can see the full circle - some mother eons ago made up a mix like this, then the big companies got wind of it and prepackaged it for us and now it is back to the original LOL

The apple oatmeal sounds wonderful!!! You come up with the greatest ideas!

Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, is posting "preference" questions this week, and it reminded me of your "tea or mug" post! If you haven't met her and would like to play along, you can link up to her under my favorite blogs list. She has a beautiful yard and flowers!

Lisa, I was scrolling down and had missed your son's diagrams until now! They are amazing! My 9 year old son changes his mind each week on what he wants to be when he grows up, but "he is trying to decide, so he can start preparing now!" LOL! You might have a budding engineer there! I'm 40, and I am still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up! LOL! ...my dad was walking around Wal-mart a couple of weeks ago, and he is NOT a Wal-mart fan, he only went to get a blown tire fixed, and they tried to hire him as a greeter! LOLOL! He was not amused! ~Rhonda ;)

Great idea and I'm off to make a batch tonight! I've got some oatmeal lovers in my house, they like the "real stuff" but who has time? They love the instant stuff, but who has the money? Hopefully this will make everyone happy!

Thanks. I tried a recipe before, but it wasn't a big hit. I'm anxious to try this one (it's much simpler than the one I did before) I couldn't get the right fruity flavor with dried fruit (my kids like strawberry and blueberry). I think I'll try it this time with chocolate chips! Can't go wrong there!

Your version of "smelling chocolates" might be reading scripture, gazing at God's marvelous works, listening to children laugh, looking at a blog, calling a friend, sipping tea, savoring a really good chocolate or all of the above!

1 Corinthians 10:31Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
